| Controls |
As with breakaways, the

|
The defender's goal is not
only to escape from the attacker's grasp, but also to control the attacker
with a hold and/or throw. Students cannot rely on the descriptions here for
all the details of these moves, but must have them demonstrated. NOTE:
Alternative controls may be allowed subject to your instructor's approval. |

defender's left wrist. |

defender's right wrist. |

same wrist move, and put the attacker into an arm lock. |
